Serious Pharos?

Stack vit, 6k + on healer = easy burn for every boss including siren herself lol.
I never attempted it till i did one day as i was purely basing the success off of the other boss fights in PS.

1st boss adds are easy to kite.
Just make sure that you're
-always moving on the outer rim
-always time your explosions so that you won't explode near dps/ tank. ( most likely they will be near death due too most ppl having hp from 3500-5000 hp.
- if the corrupted crystal circle AoE is already at growth stage #3, run into it and stay within the crystals as you will only get one stack once u enter it.
-exploding is inevitable, so always remember to be at full hp + any damage mitigation / defence buff.
- always have HoTs up on yourself and party.

And zu is just like turn 2 enrage lol....

Maybe this is sound advice post-nerf (but really it sounds kinda like bad advice), but pre-nerf you would definitely still die.

Overgeared, this is what we had to do to win. I'm not sure the whm put any accessories on, but we finished the first boss finally with a dead whm and a dead smn lol.

For whatever reason, I've never had a difficult time in pharos, I liked pharos when people were going "uh ewww pharos" and then dropping, and I still like it now. It was just that us getting past that first boss was bonkers for some reason.

Nope, i did it in i90.
I was the pushy burn tactic whm.
You need to time stoneskin and keep moving.
I did this back then too when i didn't have swiftcast cuz i was too lazy to get it.

Pre nerf *
Cuz i decided to try it out on 1st boss after doing the burn tactic on zu multiple times with many df parties.
Really felt stable and viable so i proceeded to take what i learned from cutter's cry and apply it to PS.

The phases were pushed because of the Summoner dots. They take a bit to fall off and can push the adds to spawn.
